| Re: C trumpet beginner
It is not so much that the Bb is more in tune than the C, but that different notes are out of tune. Learning the C can do wonders for intonation on the Bb. At first you'll be reading down a step and adding two flats to everything to transpose. Gerald Webster had us play our C's ifor everything, and playing Barnum and Bailey's Favorite at tempo is a fun challenge. If you spend whole days transposing you'll look at the clock and transpose the time down an hour: at this point you'll know you're comfortable with the transposition. Have fun!
